The opening film will be Rosa Moreno by Carlos Augusto de Oliveira. It tells the story of a gay man from Denmark who goes to Brazil to adopt a baby on their black market, but after finding a willing mother he becomes emotionally involved with her.

The festival's closing night film will be the Canadian premiere of The Best Things In The World by Laís Bodanzky. It tells the coming-of-age story of a 15-year-old boy and his older brother as they are suddenly forced to deal with changing relationships.
This festival is not to be confused with the Brazil Film Fest which also hosts its fifth edition in one month's time.

The 5th Brazilian Film & TV Festival of Toronto continues until October 2 in Toronto. Most films take place at the Carlton Cinema.
